Your Vulnerability Can Be Catastrophic
We live in a world where the grid can fail again on its own and in a pinpointed
terrorist attack. Both events could cripple your business. This reality has
resulted in many reports on the vulnerabilities of the grid that have not
reported the complete truth, for whatever reason, be it political or otherwise.
It's crucial to understand why the grid is still highly vulnerable so that you
can make effective decisions to protect your business.
Join industry and end-user leaders as they come together to explore the latest advancements and trends in technology, market conditions and end-user requirements that are driving innovation, product development and applications of fuel cell systems.

Is your electric utility company vulnerable to a cyber attack?
So many companies are surprisingly easy targets. That's because skilled attackers may be able to pierce your firewall, breeze past your DMZ and exploit an alarmingly simple glitch in most security software. Once inside your website, those thieves can make off with all kinds of critical, confidential or strategic corporate information. The result for your utility could be a nightmare - and a fortune in legal claims, lost shareholder value and court awards.

CBI’s Electric Reliability Congress is a high-level, two tracked, industry forum featuring direct stakeholders that are shaping the policies of reliability. Reliability is the paramount concern of the North American electric industry. Since the blackout of August, 2003, the focus in the U.S. Congress, U.S. DOE and industry stakeholders is to address the shortcomings of our infrastructure immediately. How the reliability problem should be solved is up for debate. We have the technology, but we do not have agreement on process, financing upgrades and government involvement. This Congress will provide a forum at the highest level to bring the industry together to discuss these matters.
